Waste Management
Waste is an expensive and sometimes unavoidable result of human activity. It occurs in our homes, offices and factories. However, we can prevent or reduce waste. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection works with industry, government and citizens to reduce, beneficially reuse and manage waste.
